Thanks for the comments on controller keyboards guys. Ian thanks for giving the full range of views in your household.

I have to make up my mind what "touch" to go for hopefully before the prices of these items start to go up too.
I don't want anything too light and "Mickey Mouse". On the other hand I tried a digital piano in a shop the other day (having not touched one or an acoustic for years) and it was like trying to force a good performance through by pressing bricks! I get the impression the P85 might seem that way at least at first. Over here they can be bought for the same price as the KX8, but am I right in saying the latter has a slighter lighter touch requirement?
